OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of a gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) injection prior to embryo transfer on implantation and pregnancy rate. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) therapy with and without GnRHa preinstallation into the uterine cavity just before embryo transfer between January 2012 and Ma...

POSTPARTUM HEMORRHAGE – A REVIEW (Abstract): Postpartum hemorrhage has been defined as either a 10% change in hematocrit between admission and postpartum period or a need of erythrocyte transfusion. The incidence of postpartum hemorrhage is 3.9% for vaginal deliveries and 6.4% for cesarean delivery.

The work presents a rare case of spontaneous migration of an 11-week fetus from the uterine cavity into the urinary bladder cavity through the long-standing vesicouterine fistula.

Saline infusion sonohysterography has been employed to evaluate the uterine cavity prior to commencement of assisted conception.Intra-uterine lesions play an important role in the outcome of assisted conception procedures. A descriptive retrospective study of 760 patients who had saline infusion sonohysterography prior to assisted conception, between January 2008 and December, 2010. Forty-six p...

This 45-year-old woman was a tertiary referral to our Myoma Service with a diagnosis of symptomatic fibroids confirmed by ultrasound and MRI. Clinically, the uterine mass was equivalent to 28–30 weeks gestation. In view of her age and massive fibroids with menorrhagia, she had previously been offered a hysterectomy but wished to preserve fertility potential and requested a myomectomy. Her preop...

This article describes uterine and uterine cavity changes throughout the normal and pathological puerperium, as revealed by various ultrasound modalities. A gray scale ultrasound, color and pulsed Doppler ultrasound and 3D ultrasound were used. It is based on results of several prospective longitudinal studies, which were designed so that every woman was examined at six occasions during the pue...
